So sorry, my dear. We’re so sorry, so sorry my dear. John, Paul and George got into a fight. Ringo played the drums, but the rhythm wasn’t right. John could not be reached, he was living underground. So, Paul continued singing this refrain on his own. We’re so sorry, Uncle Albert, we haven’t done a bloody thing all day. George wrote a song about the way to be happy. Ringo wrote on too, you know it didn’t come easy. John released Imagine, after that nothing mo And Paul took to the Wings with people knocking on his door. Someone’s knocking on the door, somebody’s ringing the bell. We’re so sorry, Uncle Albert, we haven’t done a bloody thing all day. George still played guitar. Ringo still wore rings. Paul no longer sang with the band that he called Wings. Ringo made some movies, his parts were always light. John could not be reached, a bullet took his life. We’re so sorry, Uncle Albert, we haven’t done a bloody thing all year. We’re so sorry, Uncle Albert, cause we’re missing someone very, very dear. Words/Music: Copyright © Gary Antelept TOP
Living alone in the city, it’s a wonder that I’m still alive. My friends all seem numb from their pity, I don’t know how we all survive. I walked out the door, the ambulance pulled up, I asked who’s it for, it’s for ME! I can’t take anymore, I can’t take anymore. My paycheck is no longer for me, with the bill collectors waiting in line. Each creditor hears a new story and I try to keep my credit alive. I thought about ending it, throw in the towel, but you know I wouldn’t fit down the drain. I can’t take anymore, I can’t take anymore. It’s all a dream, my life is crashing down all around me. I’ve made up my mind not to lose site of what life is for, I can’t take anymore. Give me some cash; give me money, anything to help me survive. Playing these clubs pays no money, but it’s better than the job I can’t find I don’t know where I’ll go or if it’s worth my while to be a singer with a college degree. I can’t take anymore, I can’t take anymore. Words/Music: Copyright © Gary Antelept TOP You don’t have to be sad, but you don’t have to be glad. You don’t have to get real mad, to keep from being had. And you don’t have to be cool; you don’t have to go to school. You don’t have to follow no rules. You don’t have to feel misused because the: Blues can’t get you no more.

You can wrinkle your nose, or you can look out your window. You can watch your love grow. And you’ll see, you’ll see, you will see what I mean… But your a little too sad (oh no), you’re a little too small (oh no), don’t you like it like that, don’t you like it at all. And does it hurt you. Can’t they hurt you now, cause you’re a little too fat, you’re a little too old, you’re a little to young, and you’re a little to bold. Well it ain’t going to get me, it’s not going to bring me down, because the: Blues can’t get you no more. The blues can’t get you no more. I said that the blues can’t get you, the blues can’t get you, the blues can’t get you no more.

Words/Music: Copyright © Gary Antelept TOP Round and round and round you go and where you stop. You see yourself above the rest, where money feeds your game. You’d sell your soul for somewhat less if the proper price were named. And, whoa, don’t you know that you’re running me off of the road. Whoa, don’t you know that you’re running me off, you’re running me off. When I grow old, will you come see me sometime, when I grow old, will you come, will you come, will you come, will you come. You’re running me off of the road oh don’t you know you’re running me off you’re running me off. You see yourself among the best where money buys you fame. Each day this world grows more depressed you’ll squander just the same.
And, don’t you know that you’re running me off the road. Whoa, don’t you know that you’re running me off, you’re running me off. When I grow old will you come see me sometime, when I grow old will you come, will you come, will you come, will you come. You’re running me off the road, oh, don’t you know you’re running me off, you’re running me off, you’re running me off the road.

He rallied this nation to counter the ethics of greed. Yellow leaves fell on that dark limousine. And, even now I can hear the sounds and the screams. The shot that struck his skull took his life. For many long years it tore this country apart like a knife. Remember the day we all had tears in our eyes. Remember the day when our country fell far behind. I’ve struggled in so many ways for the way to be free. I see that struggle each day in both you and me. Have I the courage to act on what I believe? “Courage”, he said, “to act, is what would set us all free.” Only, only a man and nothing much more. Only, only a man and nothing much more.

The city’s tall majestic towers rise up through the clouds today. Through clouds of soot, crusty haze, some can’t breathe the air today, but still we stay. Living tight in the city now, pushing hard and putting out. Demand the best, pass the test, still we stumble home with less. Who knows what’s next. And, people, people everywhere, running here and running there. People were a friend of mind, till I found they had no time, had no time for me. While cars and trucks fight it out for gasoline running out. No train, no plane, no bus can rush to destinations fast enough. And, deadlines met are then reset, with no time to forget. Slow it all down, slow it all down, slow it all down, slow it all down. This city’s pace. And, we are in our Promised Land. Where all we do is what we can. Where the rich get rich, the poor just die. Where we fail to question why. We don’t ask why. One man on a fateful day came to terms with life this way. In a dirty, dark subway, vowed to change this world someday. Someday he may. While cars and trucks fight it out for gasoline running out. No train, no plane, no bus can rush to destinations fast enough. And, deadlines met are then reset, with no time to forget. Slow it all down, slow it all down, slow it all down, slow it all down. This city’s pace. And, here we are in our Promised Land. Where all we do is what we can. Where the rich get rich, the poor just
die. Where we fail to
question why. You love to get attention. You hate to be ignored. You’re looking for affection. That’s what you’ve come here for. And, I know that you know I love you so, you’re just so pretty to me. So pretty, so good now, so pretty, you’re just so pretty to me. Pampered soft complexion. Eyes that laugh and play. You’re diaper changing sessions take my breath away. And, I know that you know I love you so, you’re just so pretty to me. So pretty, so good now, you’re just so pretty to me. So, close your eyes, you don’t need to cry no more. Close your eyes and dream….awhile, dream awhile. Now you’re head is filled with questions. You’re peeking round the door. You’re looking for affection, that’s what your life is for. And, I know that you know I love you so, you’re just so pretty to me. So pretty, so good now, so pretty, you’re just so pretty to me. So pretty, so good now, so pretty, you’re just so pretty to me. Close your eyes, you know you’re just so pretty to me. Don’t you cry, you know you’re just so pretty to me. Words/Music: Copyright © Gary Antelept
A hug, a tug, a kiss, a shrug, an experiment in two. Do I sweep the thoughts beneath the rug, concerned now what to do?
Do I stop thinking about her? My friends all say I should. But, I can’t stop thinking about her and I guess I never will.
Is she all I want, does she laugh a lot? Does she mind when I call her “girl”. Will she play the part, will she break my heart, all the while being drawn to her.
Stop thinking about her. My friends all say I should, but I can’t stop thinking about her and I guess I never will. Wooo.
A hug, a kiss, somewhat amiss. A lesson making love. Amusing thoughts between a kiss as we fall asleep on the rug. As we fall asleep on the rug. We both fall asleep on the rug.

When you’re down and out and when you’re inside out is outside in. Makes no difference who you are or what you are supposed to be.
Sorry to see you feeling blue, hope you don’t think I’m being cruel. Everyone thinks you’ve come unglued. Sorry to say I think it’s true.
When you’re all alone, you’re feeling like a flop. Don’t tell me who you know. It doesn’t matter what you’ve got.
I’m just, sorry to see you feeling blue, hope you don’t think I’m being cruel. Everyone thinks you’ve blown your cool. Sorry to say I think it’s true.
When you’re down and out and when you’re inside out is outside in. Makes no difference who you are or what you are supposed to be.
Sorry to see you. Sorry to see you feeling blue again. Sorry to see you. Sorry to see you feeling blue my friend. Sorry to see you. Sorry to see you feeling blue again. Sorry to see you. Sorry to see you feeling blue my friend.

Chorus: Don’t worry bout a thing, don’t worry no more, I’ll be with you tonight. Don’t worry bout a thing don’t worry no more, I’ll be holding you tight.

Chorus: Don’t worry bout a thing, don’t worry no more, I’ll be holding you.

Time marches on and it drags by so slowly. As time marches on, I’m feeling so lonely. Thinking of you. Thinking of you.
Miles in between, barriers and resistance. Phone lines between tracing the distance, between me and you, between me and you.
Middle 8: This world’s like a jungle. We fight to make our way, hey hey, hey. We tangle and tumble as we try to find our own way to go.
When I dream in the night, can you feel it, does it haunt you? Oh, deep in the night can you feel how I want you?
Thinking of you. Thinking of you. Thinking of you. Always, thinking of you.

To the County of Calhoun my memory wanders, Where broad Illinois cuts her path through limestone. And the farmers will greet you, they’ll never mistreat you. The hills hide remains of ancient man’s tombs.
Chorus: Sweet Valley, River come take me home.
And, I’m traveling to Texas, but my heart’s in the valley. All I can see are the dumps on the land. On the distant horizon I can make out the tree line that meet and surround on the “River’s grasslands.
And, the River flows closer, but not at all cleaner, than when I remember seeing it last. Oh, the rail yards are muddy, the steel mills are rusty, the sunlight is purple through a sky over cast.
Chorus: Sweet Valley, River come take me home.
And, then, River, I see River, dirt levees appear. Rock levees, Missouri, flood plains at their rear. I can’t see any barges, no boats large or small; I gaze to the north at the River and walls.
Then, barges and towboats as we exit St. Louis, refurbished sternwheelers and sun on the hill. Mississippi’s a grand one, granddaddy of all of ‘em, but not as inviting as Illinois still.
Chorus: Sweet Valley, River come take me home.
So, I long for the gentle Illinois Valley, that Illinois Valley I call my home. To the County of Calhoun my memory wanders, where proud Illinois cuts her path through limestone.
Chorus: Sweet Valley, River come take me home. Sweet Valley Illinois you’re my home.

All city sounds are dying. All of the bars have closed now. Come home with me and hold me, so I won’t be alone. So, I won’t be alone.
We’ll tell stories through the night, of castles and kingdoms. And, though we may be just peasants, revolution has begun.
In all my dreams I knew you; I’d see you by your window. You’d laugh at me do cartwheels. I wasn’t even stoned, I wasn’t even stoned.
Together we’ll se the morning light, softly light my room. We’ll let our hands be gentle and laugh at what they do.
All city sounds are dying; all of the bars have closed now. Come home with me and hold me, so I won’t be alone, no I won’t be alone.

Dragonfly sitting on a cattail, high, swaying in the breeze. And, old man river’s just a rolling by and taking it down to the sea. Maybe you’ve got the blues, but maybe it’s not too late for you to find yourself dancing ‘neath the silver moon with the stars hanging on display.
Cottontail’s hopping down the meadow’s path; he stops to eye the scene. And, you and I pretend to be, now try not to laugh, a natural part of this scene. Well, maybe we’ve got to lose, but maybe our heart won’t ache when you and I go dancing ‘neath the silver moon with the stars hanging on display.
Star shine, star shine. Moon shine, moon shine.
Free as the star shine, bright as the sun. The moonbeams light our path. Life’s commotion’s just a distant hum when you’re far from the beaten path. Whatever you got to lose, won’t really be all that great when you compare it to the splendor of the silver moon with the stars hanging on display. Won’t you compare it to the splendor of the silver moon with the stars hanging on display?

As the night evolved, we became enthralled with the music, fun and sights. Among friends we knew, we made rendezvous on the isle of paradise.
And, oh so happy together, what a wonderful, wonderful sight. When the night withdrew, it left me and you alone to share our delight.
And, our friends all knew of our rendezvous, each one shared a glass of our wine. To the maiden fair, far from Circe’s star, now fulfilled beyond hearts delight.
And, oh so happy together, what a wonderful, wonderful sight. When the night withdrew it left me and you all alone to share our delight.
You and I, oh what a wonderful sight. You and I, oh what a wonderful life.
Oh, sweet maiden fair, it’s for you I care will you be my lady, my wife. Be my lady my wife. Will you be my lady my wife ?

You need once in your life to see all that love can be It's all so simple and yet, sometimes hard to show, but show it And if once in your life you see how deep your love can be Learn to follow, follow your heart.
You can search this wide world over and still not find the peace You're looking for, Until you let your feelings show, never let love go and learn to Follow, follow your heart.

I'd like to sing this song to thank-you girl for all the things you do for me. And would you sing along and share with me your life and love that's dear to me.
'Cause you're just so good for me. You set me free. You help me see what's inside of me. You're just so good for me. You set me free. You help see what's alright with me.
I was running out of time. I sat alone by the telephone. I watched life trickle by and I squeezed it out and I teezed it out. But I couldn't make it flow.

I was running out of time. I sat alone by the telephone. I watched life trickle by and I squeezed it out and I teezed it out. Now I'll turn your way to cherish you and do for you what lets you be free. No, I won't turn away or let you down or put you down or turn your love away from me.
'Cause you're just so good for me. You set me free. You help me see what's inside of me. You're just so good for me. You set me free. You help see what's alright with me, alright. Yes, it's alright with me. 'Cause that's what you mean to me. Woooooo.....

'Way high above me there once stood a tree It's branches were growing for all to see and Ricky Ticky Tee just like that tree I felt something growling inside of me.
I guess everyone has their own special tree It's something you just grow up with on a hot summer's day. I'd lie in its shad With the grass as a pillow for my head And looking up I'd wonder as each leaf was tossed by the breeze. If I'd ever grow up to be as strong as that tree.
It's branches were growing for all to see and Ricky Ticky Tee just like that tree I felt something growling inside of me.
You see, when I was a young boy we had a storm and it messed up the neighborhood bad. My tree was struck by lightning while I was in bed pulling the covers over my head And I remember that morning sun shining like nothing was wrong. My tree in the front yard had its trunk burnt and torn.
It's branches were twisted for all to see and Ricky Ticky Tee just like that tree I felt something hurting inside of me.
But Dad knew what had to be done "Don't tear the bark off," he said. "We'll get some tar and paint it on. This helps the tree to mend."
It didn't take but just one year you know what my Dad said was true. It just covered its scar with a new branch of leaves. Stood tall and grew. It just covered its scar with a new branch of leaves. Stood tall and grew. It just covered its scar with a new branch of leave. Stood tall and grew.

I gave it to you freely thought it wasn't mine to give. How could I give away a life I'd never learned to live. You made it oh so easy, You let me crawl inside you lived a life for both of us, and all I did was hide.
Chorus: So I'm taking back my life I've really got to see if the love that I've been waiting for might be here in me. I wonder if I love you 'cause there's more to love than need. It's as if life were a manuscript and I'd never learned.
Chorus: Well, I never really lived my life in a way I could call my own and all my searching far and wide still left me all alone. So I gave it to you freely though it wasn't mine to give; how could I give away a life I'd never learned to live.
Chorus-Chorus: got to see if the love that I've been waiting for is the love you give to me.

America
America proud and free America I sing this on my knees. Your families are crippled, your young in despair. America you don’t seem to care.
America with bustling streets America of amber fields of wheat. Your alleys hide the vermin as muggers lead the sermon On the value of life on our streets today.
But, in the summer of ‘76, people sang your praise In all reverence I feel we’ve strayed in what we’ve made our America, America. Home of the brave, land of the free.
America this was your dream You walked with King who urged “Let Freedom Ring.” Now aimless, faceless crowds, you’re heroes all gunned down You’ve turned your back on your poor and beaten down.
America this is the life Advancing drums and bugles and fife You can stop telling your political lies Restore your people’s pride When you wake up you’ll see your dream hasn’t died.
But in the summer of ’76, people sang your praise In all reverence I feel we’ve strayed in what we’ve made our America, America. Home of brave, land of the free, God shed his light once more on thee.

Ballad of a Battered Child Winter comes to seal our fate; the wind sweeps down the lane. And locked indoors, the wind still shakes through walls no warmth remains. I see the world through troubled eyes; I’ve seen abuse my family tries to hide. And, people think I want their sympathy. They fail to see the wounds, deep in me.
I grieve for what I might have been, had mom not battered me. So many fights, were fought within, to save the child in me. Little boy me could not believe, the torment always facing me. And though I screamed, I cried; I suffered. Exchanging dreams for pain endured.
I’ve seen a world of troubled eyes; I’ve seen abuse my family tries to hide.
I’ve struggled years to build a life, I smile and hide the pain. But all alone, I nurse the wounds of a childhood filled with shame. I’m told, “Forgive your mom, she’s not to blame.” “Forget the past; the past can’t be changed (get over it.)” But, ‘neath these wounds, you’ll find a child who’s a survivor. A frightened youngster, a young survivor, I’m a survivor.
We’ve seen a world of troubled eyes; we’ve seen abuse our families try to hide.
But, we are stronger than our wounds, we are survivors, we are survivors, we are survivors. We are survivors.

Don't it seem a long time since you've been gone?

You were born first day of summer when we first met I knew you cared and it was a first for me to see in me the love I never dared to share. You shared you'd seen the sunset Oh, I could see you standing there And though you wander far from me just like a summer's breeze I still feel the warm of how you care.
(Chorus) Follow me always and I'll follow you there You can share with me always and I think we're already there I do believe we're already there.
Oh, I still think of things I've wanted and I think of times I've dared, but the thought that comforts me is the thought that comes to me that they'll be time to find the time to care.
(Chorus-guitar lead-chorus) You may be high up on the hillside or hidden deep within your lair - I'll sing the song it won't be long 'til we find the time for us to care. It's just a matter of time before we find the time and place for use to care.

You think you swam the ocean 'cause you taste life's salty sea And still I can't imagine how your love has entered me. Did it fly on wings of angels? Did it slip inside a thought? Did it creep upon for legs and jump like a playful ocelot?
But it's alright this morning and it's alright right now and it's all that I had hope it be when your hair fell free my love.
There were those who turned away your love determined to be unmoved but those who turned away, my love lost so much more than you. And the strutting and Primadonnas who failed to see you there had so little there to offer you in their somewhat vacant stare.
But it's alright this morning and it's alright right now and it's all that I had hope it be when our love flowed free my love.
But still I can't imagine how your love could have no bounds but it's love that brings salvation to the weary beaten down. They'll be some who turn away your love determined to be unmoved. But it's those who turn away from love who have the most to lose.
But it's alright this morning and it's alright right now and it's all that I had hope it be how your love flows free my love.
But it's alright this morning and it's alright right now and it's all that I had hope it be how our love flows free my love.
Trying to Get A Message to You
Down on my knees again, begging you please let's straighten this whole thing out. Why do you tease me? Don't you know how to please me?
Don't you know what I'm talking about? I don't know what you're talking about, baby, you're my love. You're saying I don't know how a woman can feel that I always seem to mix you all up, that you're needing some space you need you're able to love I don't know what you're talking about, baby, you're my love.

I'm at the edge of the world, you're a mysterious girl just tell me what this whole thing's about. I'm at the end of the line, and I'm blowing my mind. The only thing to do is to shout. I don't know what you're talking about, baby, you're my love. (Chorus)

The Final Word - Tribute to John Lennon
I read the news today oh boy. About the lucky man who made the grade. He shot him in the chest I heard It seems to be the final word in this land where there's no direction. Ten thousand people maybe more came to stand outside his front door. They came to show him that they cared, they came to show him they'd be there. They had to stand within this man's reflection.
(Chorus) It's alright. It's alright though his lips will now be still but it's so sad, so so sad.
I saw his life go flashing by on television screens and dreams gone by. they threw flowers at his door, combed their favorite record store, still the world has lost one believer.
(Chorus) We said good-bye to you that day across the universe and far away. Yoko said that she was proud said she felt you there somehow, smiling down upon all the people. It's alright. It's alright thought your lips will now be still, but it's so sad, so so sad.
Goodnite, Goodnite your lips are forever sealed and it's so sad, so sad to lose you.

In a magical one night stand we walked alone, She held my hand we wandered through town. Daniella was her name. A dark-eyed girl a bit insane. We wandered through town.
(Chorus) I saw her light in the night She was so bright in the night I held her tight.
What we said was not much more than what's been said, many times before - I want you. But works we spoke seem to glow a bridge between. we let it grow our wonder wonder.
(Chorus) But like the sunlight comes and goes she left my side, she has to go to wander, to wander I wonder does she feel the same? Does she think of me and speak my name? I wonder? Wonder. (Chorus)

There's times that I've been lonely now and times I had to cry. They say that times are good and full when the stock exchange is high. These times I spend making up for time I sought to answer why. Why I had so many times I felt I just got by.
I've seem my life drift like a cloud, I've seen clouds pass me by. Once I was just two feet tall, I'm still not six feet high. I find I take apart the things that make me question why. And still I can't find all the parts these times I just get by.
Well, I wandered blinding through this world in search but oh so blind. I kept on finding more and more how people can be kind. I learned how hope needs to flow into Low we spend our time and slowly came to understand in time I would get by.
I've learned some ways to meet my needs I've learned to bind and tie' to reach for things I thought I missed to love. To grow to try. And as the parts fit into place, I'll always questions why, why when you're trying hard to grow sometimes you just get by. But, I looked up into the clouds and said one day, I'll fly, fly so high.

(Chorus) Baby come back to me, back to me, back to me. Pretty baby come back to me, back to me.
When I see another girl walking down the street I'm crying there's not another girl like you out there to meet and I'm dying. What have you done? I can't go on. I'm all alone. Baby, come home.
(Chorus) You told me once that you'd never ever break my heart, I'm crying and you thought that you'd never see the day we'd part. I'm dying. Now that you've gone, I don't belong. I'm all alone. Baby, come home.
(Chorus) Got to find another girl got to find her real soon. I've got to find her somehow, got to find another girl, got to find her real soon. I've got to find her but how It's so hard, so hard, so hard since you've gone. It's so hard, so hard, so hard and so alone.
(Chorus) Baby come back to me ...
